Seeing as she’s a huge sci-fi fan, I thought I’d try something with elements of horror, just to see how she got on (she’s 10).
She was most amused that the jump scares had more of an effect on me than her and she seemed to find it quite funny.
Your daughter's a brave girl. Even at that age, my parents would be covering my eyes during the gory parts in the film. And I've only seen it once.
shareTbh, nowadays there’s far worse on TV; people melting and being eaten on Stranger Things (one of my daughter’s favourite shows).
When I asked if she thought the Alien scary, she replied scathingly, “It’s just a guy in a rubber suit.”
If you get a chance, there's a video of North Bergen High School production of Alien as a play. It was very well done on a high school budget.
Disney was prepared to go after them for copyright but then both Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver endorsed the production. An extra showing was arranged just for them to attend.
Wow! What a great story 👍
